Biden talks Syria with Jordanian king

4/25/13 4:37 PM EDT

The White House issued a bare-bones readout of a breakfast meeting between Vice President Joe Biden and Jordan's King Abdullah on Thursday.

They apparently talked about Syria but there was no mention in the readout of the big news of the day: that the United States now believes Syria has likely crossed President Obama's "red line" and used chemical weapons, specifically sarin gas. Here's the full, one-paragraph readout:

"The Vice President hosted His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan for breakfast at the Naval Observatory today. The Vice President and the King discussed how best to advance a political transition to a peaceful, democratic post-Assad Syria where moderates are empowered. The Vice President underscored the strength of the U.S.- Jordanian relationship and noted enduring U.S. support for Jordan. The King will meet with President Obama on Friday."
